Shawn Michaels sends heartfelt message to 30-year-old star after first-ever singles title win in WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels sent a heartfelt message on social media to congratulate a newly crowned champion. Fallon Henley won her first-ever singles title in the Stamford-based promotion.
At the 2024 Halloween Havoc Premium Live Event, Kelani Jordan put her NXT Women's North American Championship on the line against members of Fatal Influence - Jazmyn Nyx, Jacy Jayne, and Henley in a Gauntlet Match.
Jordan managed to pin Nyx and the former Toxic Attraction member. However, just as Kelani Jordan was poised to claim victory, the other two members of Fatal Influence intervened, creating a distraction. This allowed Fallon Henley to capitalize on the chaos and emerge as the new NXT Women's North American Champion, ending her opponent's 139-day reign.
Taking to X/Twitter, Shawn Michaels congratulated the 30-year-old star on capturing her first-ever singles title in the form of the NXT Women's North American Championship. WWE Hall of Famer praised Fallon Henley's performance and acknowledged the significance of the event for both her and the Fatal Influence faction.
"Big night for Fatal Influence, even bigger night for @FallonHenleyWWE! Congratulations to your new NXT Women’s North American Champion!" he wrote.

Fallon Henley gets attacked by newly signed WWE star moments after she won the championship
After Henley's controversial first singles championship win, a storm was brewing for the Fatal Influence trio. The newly crowned NXT Women's North American Champion was cutting a promo when the lights went out, and Zaria suddenly appeared in the ring.
The Australian powerhouse (fka DELTA) one by one took out Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx before turning her attention to the new champ. Zaria laid waste to Fallon Henley with a vicious Spear, followed by a devastating F5.
WWE has announced that Zaria will make her in-ring debut on the upcoming episode of NXT. While her opponent has been disclosed, fans can expect that a member of the Fatal Influence could be the Australian's first adversary.
